and a late aud shortened harvest, is expected. 
In France the season has been particularly 
backward, having been wet and unusually 
cold, and the grain crops have suffered mate¬ 
rially, so that, there is much dissatisfaction at 
the general appearance of the crops. A small 
wheat crop and late harvestare now expected. 
In Belgium there have been continued and 
excessive rains, but afterward fine, warm 
weather, favorable for crops, the continuance 
of which was regarded as likely to secure a 
very good wheat crop. Bales of flour have 
recently materially improved, and accumu¬ 
lated stocks show a decrease. 
In Germany unreasonably cold weather and 
an excess of rain are reported; nevertheless, 
it is said growing crops were making satisfac¬ 
tory progress are and generally promising. 
In Austria there has seldom been seen so 
cold and rainy a May. The grain harvest 
promise, however, was considered good, it be¬ 
ing said that “if June should be warm the 
yield of the Hungarian grain lands will Lka 
greater than it has been for along time." Se¬ 
rious floods have occurred in some districts of 
Hungary. 
The Canadian Pacific Railway Telegraph 
Company has collected crop reports from all 
points of the Northwest and Manitoba, and 
with hardly a single exception the prospects 
are said to be very much better than last 
year, and a plentiful harvest is expected. Re¬ 
ports from all sources are unan uious in say¬ 
ing that the crops were never better since the 
country was settled. Farmers and business 
men never felt more confident of good crops 
than at, present. 
Reports from the farming districts in Nova 
Beotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward 
Island, are favorable for a good season The 
farmers had made good progress with their 
seeding and planting, and the general report 
is that vegetation is very rapid. Grass looks 
very well, recent heavy rains having dispelled 
all fears of light growth. 
The National Cotton Exchange’s report says 
the condition of the crop is superior to that of 
last year and fully up to the season of 1885. 
With the exception of South Carolina, there 
has been an increased acreage, slight in most 
of the States, but showing well in Arkansas 
and Texas, making an average increase for 
the belt of l}{ per cent and giving in round 
numbers an area of 18,000,000 acres under 
cultivation. 
The collapse of the wheat corner at Chi¬ 
cago affected the other Western markets also 
to a considerable extent, especially that of 
Milwaukee, and had a good deal of effect here 
also, as will be seen by the following table of 
the break in prices at Chicago and New York:

June wheat was the kind cornered; but opera¬ 
tions for cornering July wheat were under 
way, and the decline in these two kinds was 
therefore the heaviest. In December, 1884, 
wheat declined at Chicago to 04) %o., in Octo¬ 
ber last to OtF jC,, and in 18(52 to 00c. The 
lowest price of the week is therefore the low¬ 
est for 25 years. The general opinion of the 
future of wheat seems to In? that there can be 
no further decline in prices, and that an ad¬ 
vance is probable for two good reasons: First, 
that the grain is worth the present figures, 
and second, that men with money in Chicago 
cannot afford to see auy further collapse. 
Litigation over the remains of t he 19 suspend¬ 
ed commission firms goes merrily on, and dep¬ 
uty sheriffs are seen flying around the Board 
of 'I rade at a lively rate. 
Holders of wool in the Eat tern markets arc 
not anxious to sell lit present prices the high 
prices paid for the new clip in the interior 
having strengthened the views of holders 
of old wool at the seaboard. According to 
Bradstreefs advices, the competition for med¬ 
ium wool is particularly keen. Fear is ex¬ 
pressed in some quartet's that the supply of 
this description will be short. Most of the 
Texas clip has gone into second hands. In 
the Territories the movement is later. No 
definite information about average quality 
has appeared. 
More spirit and sharper competition have 
prevailed at. the London sales this week. 
American buyers are taking hold to a consid¬ 
erable extent, and greasy wools such as they 
require are firmer. In the English domestic 
market business is confined to the immediate 
wants of manufacturers who, like those on 
this side, are waiting for the appearance of 
fresh supplies. 
In the Boston market many holders of new 
wool are reserving their supplies for distribu¬ 
tion hereafter, looking for an advance, while 
on the other hand the manufacturers, as a 
rule, believe that after large accumulations 
are in stock values will be more favorable for 
purchasers. The prevailing tone is strong, 
on account of the high prices in the country, 
and what foreigu wool is in store is also firm¬ 
er. There is no change since last week in 
quotations. 
In Philadelphia wool has only been moder¬ 
ately dealt in, as a rule. Prices are without 
quotable change, but very firm, owing to the 
relatively high cost of new wools in the in¬ 
terior. Receipts and stocks here are very 
light. 
The Chicago Farmers’ Review says the 
wheat harvest has been somewhat retarded in 
the South by showery weather, but in other 
localities the lain has had a beneficial effect. 
Missouri has the best prospects for an even 
and abundant winter wheat crop. The corn 
crop, all through the corn belt, is above an 
average in condition, and prospects are good. 
Returns and estimates to the Cincinnati 
Price Currant of Thursday for the past week 
indicate a total of 240,000 hogs handled by 
Western packers, against 280,000 the preced¬ 
ing week, and 280,000 for corresponding time 
last year. The total from Mareh 1 is 2,425,- 
000, against 2,200,000 a year ago—increase, 
135,000. Prices of hogs huve advanced 10 to 
20 cents per 100 pounds, compared with a week 
ago at Chicago, with even a greater gain at 
other parts. The prices of hog products, or 
“provisions” have been influenced by the 
break in wheat, so that not only has the gain 
early in the week been lost, but prices at the 
close are 20 to 22% cents per 100 pounds lower 
than a week ago, on lard and short rib sides, 
at Chicago. 
Pork in Chicago is still “cornered,” and the 
June option is firmly held at $22 per barrel, 
while the cash product sells at about $15. 
Hogs have been 20 to 30 cents, and cattle 80 to 
40 cents lower at Kansas City.
